THE IM{()VIN(JE SNOW. " PRIN(^E OK OHANOE." 



In tiik smninor of 1740, there l)eini!: ii war Ix^tween Kn<;- 
laiid and Spain, and the Aiiieriean e()h)nies heiiii!; imieh 
harassed I)y Spaiiisli privateers, Governor Pxdeher called 
the attention of the General C^ourt of the Provinee of 
Massaehust'tts Bay to the dcfenecles.s .state of the coast, 
and advised the j)urcha.se of a vessel sufficiently jjowerful 
to i)r()tect na\iuation and trade.' Althoniih the home 
ijovcrnnient had ijenerally maintained some shijjs of war 
off the coast and in the ports of th(> American colonies, 
the prote('tion given had never been adeijuate ; and the 
colonial governments had, from the first, been obliged to 
rely upon themselves for effectual defence. For many 
years the Province of Massachusetts Bay had maintained 
one or more vessels as a coast guard, and, as early as 
li'iTo, the ship "Anthony" had ))een so employed,- but, 
(luring most of the time, these vessels had been <|uite 
small, ill armed, carrying a small crew, rehing upon oars 
as well as sails for progress, and were fi"e(|uently not 
owned by the government, but hired for the ser\ ice.-' 

In response to the Governoi-'s reconnnendalion the (ien- 
eral Court, July 5», 1740, gi'anted 1"(;")()() tor (he j)urchas(' 
and e(|uipnient of a suitable \-essel and put the iii:ilter in 
the hands of a committee,'' who innnediati^ly contracted with 
Benjamin Ilallowell for a vessel of 1<S0 tons, work on which 
was begun on Julv 20 and continued with sui'h diliiicnce that

she was launched on August 2(), in the presence of a large 
nunil)or of people. She was a snow, a vessel then common 
but now hardly known, which differs from a brig only in 
having a trysail-mast close abaft the main-mast. She was 
to be armed witli sixteen carriage guns, carrying a l)all of 
six pounds, and as many swivel guns. She was named the 
" Prince of Orange," and her command was given to Capt. 
Edward Tyng, an experienced navigator, of Boston.^ 

Meanwhile the committee reported the necessity for a 
further appropriation of £3500 for guns and other wa^'like 
stores, which was promptly granted,^ and September 10 pro- 
vision was made for a crew of sixteen officers and seventy- 
four men, of whom the captain, gunner, boatswain and two 
foremast men were to be enn)loyed permanentl}', and the 
others upon cruises only.-' Besides those mentioned, the 
officers were to be a lieutenant, master, doctor, chaplain, 
mate, steward, cook, gunners-mate, pilot, boatswain's- 
mate, carpenter, cooper and armourer. 

It is probable that the vessel was sent to sea on her 
completion in the fall of 1740, though no reference to her 
sailings is made in the Massachusetts archives nor in the 
Boston newspa})ers, save that the General Court, on Octo- 
ber 12, made an appropriation for provisions and wages of 
her officers and men.'' Six muster-rolls only are preserved 
in the Massachusetts archives, covering the time from 
November 2(), 1740, to February 3, 1742-3.^ Five other 
muster-rolls, which, unfortunately, have not been })re- 
served, covering the time from Februarj^ 4, 1742-3, to 
Jamiary 27, 1744-5, were })resented b}' Capt. Tyng and 
ordered paid.*" From these it appears that the snow was 
continuousl}'^ employed, with a full comi)lement of men, 
from about the middle of February until the middle or last 
of November in each year, and that, during the rest of 
each year, she was laid u}) with her winter crew of five.

wliich was incivasod in NovoniluM-, 174H, to six hy the 
addition of a lieutenant.' 

Althouiili the vessel was made ready for the summer 
season of 1741 as early as Mareh 9,^ her first eruise is not 
noted until Ajn-il 17, when she sailed in quest of "a 
foreign vessel. "^^ During this year she made quite ex- 
tended cruises between Cape Sable on the north and 
Virginia on the south, and proved to be satisfactory for 
speed but had no occasicm to test her fighting (lualities." 
Durinii- the three following years she was constantly in 
service in the spring, summer and fall, on the lookout for 
]irivateers and pirates, extending one of her cruises in 
174H as far as the Florida coast,^ but never having the 
fortune to meet with an enemy. She was also used as a 
desi)atch boat and, in 1742 with the ship "Vernon," carried 
Gov. Shirley and his party on a visit to the eastern 
Indians.^ 

Owino- no doubt to the number of privateers which were 
fitted out at Boston and elsewhere during the Spanish and 
French wars, service on which was more tempting because 
more i-enuuierative than on a strictly naval vessel, there 
was always much difficulty in obtaining a crew for the 
"Prince of Orange" and, in December, 1741, to encourage 
men to enlist on her, an act was passed by the General 
Gourt granting to the ship's company all vessels, stores and 
goods which they should take from the enemy, besides £10 
per head in old tenor bills for each man of the enemy 
taken or killed, to which the Knglish government added 
£5 sterling.' In spite of this it was fre(|ucntly necessary 
to have recourse to impressment,'* and, in April, 1742, a 
new scale of wages was adoi)ted, considerably increasing 
the pay of the officers and nuMi, though this was, perhaps.

offset ])y the depreciation of paper money. ^ At the same 
time the allowance for provisions per week was fixed for 
each officer and sailor, no distinction being made between 
them, as follows : — seven pounds of bread, seven gallons of 
beer, four pounds of beef, four pounds of pork, one quart 
of })ease, one (juart of corn.'^ The following March, flour 
and rice were substituted for Indian meal, but otherwise 
the establishment seems to have been continued during the 
service of the vessel.^ A bill for provisions, furnished 
by Capt. Tyng for the year 1742, is preserved in the 
Massachusetts archives/ 

In June, 1744, war having been proclaimed with 
France,^ the General Court passed a new act, similar to 
that of 1741, granting to the officers and comi)any of 
vessels of war commissioned l)y the Provincial govern- 
ment, sole interest in all and every ship, vessel, goods and 
merchandise taken after the 1st of June, 1744, "during 
the present war with France," and £3 for every man taken 
or killed. 6 

Capt. Tyng was immediately ordered to Annapolis 
Royal, with news of the war, where his timel}^ arrival 
enabled the commander of the place to put it in a state of 
defence and, probal)ly saved it from immediate capture.'' 
Returning to Boston, where news had meanwhile arrived 
that the French had six privateers at sea from Cape Breton 
which were threatening the coast, Capt. Tyng started on a 
cruise in Massachusetts Ba}^ on June 18, and on the follow- 
ing Saturday, June 23, met one of these privateers off 
Cape Cod and cai)turcd her without the loss of a man on 
either side. He returned to Boston with his prize, and 
was rapturous!}' received by his fellow-citizens. All the 
newspapers contain accounts of the fight, ^ and that given 
in the Evening Post of July 2 is here (juoted at length : — 

" Last Monday in the afternoon Capt. Tyng in our Province Snow 
arrived here from a short Cruize and bro't in with her a frcnch Priva-

l)elal)rotz Commander ■which he happily met witli ai)OHt 15 L(;a,sj;iies 
from Cape Cod about 9 o'clock on Saturday morning as he was comin<r 
in from tlie Sea. The Frenchman taliinj? him for an inward liomid 
Westindia Man (for he wisely kept his Guns housed) stood directly for 
him, and comiui;; pretty near gave him a Gun, which lie returned witli a 
Rroudside; upon which the Frenchman (Ired two Guns, then took to 
their Oars (there beini; but little Wind) and endeavored to iiet away. 
This oijliiied Capt. Tynu: to put out his Oars also, and after a hard Chace 
of 12 or 13 hours (during which Time Capt. Tyng treated his Men well 
with Li<|uor, and encouraged them all he could) he came up with the 
Sloop, and having given her a Broadside and a Volley of Small Arms, 
they cry'd for Quarters, but in their Panick forgot to strike their Col- 
ours, and kept them flying till some of our brave English Lads went on 
board and exchanged them for the Kings Colours. Capt. Tyng's Shot 
hapned to be so well placed, that the Sloop's Sails and Rigging were 
tore all to pieces ; and wlien the French Captain came on l)oard, he gave 
Capt. Tyng a great character of his Gunner, saying, he was the best 
that he ever knew, for that every Sliot he flred during the Chace, took 
Place, and did him some Damage in his Sails or Rigging. One Shot 
struck the Mast just below the Hounds, which so disabled it, that soon 
after they surrendered it broke oft', and left the Sloop without an Inch 
of Sail or Rigging standing ; so that Capt. Tyng was obliged to take 
her in Tow, or he could not have got her in. As the French fli'ed but 
few Guns at Capt. Tyng, and as they all ran down in the Hold when he 
was about to fire, it is not much to be wondered at that not a Man was 
kill'd or wounded on either Side. The Prisoners were all landed in the 
Evening and conducted to Prison under a strong Guard, and in the 
Morning about 50 of them were removed to the Gaols in Cambridge and 
Charlestown. The Fellows are all as merry as they are ragged, and 
seem well pleased with their Circumstances, declaring, that they live 
better here than they did at Home, except Ave of the late Garrison at 
Canso who entered voluntarily aboard the Privateer, and who are now 
sensible that they have been in a wrong Box. The Privateer had been 
about three Weeks from Lewisburgh, and had plundered and destroyed 
the English Settlement at St. Peter's in Newfoundland, where they kill'd 
a great many Cattle and carried ofl' about 40 Sheep, several of Avhicli 
tiiey had upon Deck when taken, and about 40 Barrels of Beef in their 
Hold, l»ut they had not taken any Vessel since they came upon the 
Coast; They could have taken several small ones, but did not care to Ijc 
troubled with them; they w'anted some rich Ships either inward or out- 
ward bound ; and the day before Capt. Tyng met with them, they had 
l)ei'n within two Leagues of the Light House, and had their Eyes upon 
a Ship there in Nantasket Road, but were discouraged upon seeing a 
Vessel with a Pendant flying. The Captain is a Gentleman well known 
in Town, and has a Son at School about six Miles ofl'. It is said he has 
been kind and serviceal)le to the English ui)on many Occasions at Lewis- 



burgh, aud he is now civilly treated himself, being at Liberty to walk 
about as he pleases. It is allowed by all, both Friends aud Enemies, 
that Capt. Tyng behaved with great Bravery and good Conduct during 
the whole Engagement and Pursuit ; and the Town are so sensible of 
his Merit and of the Importance of his Service to the Publick that at 
an adjournment of a Meeting of the Inhabitants on Tuesday last, it was 
Unanimously Voted, That the Thanks of the Town be given to Capt. 
Edward Tyng, Commander of the Province Snow for the great Service 
he has done in taking aud bringing to this Harbour a French Privateer 
Sloop belonging to Cape Briton Mounting Sixteen Guns and Mann'd 
with Ninety four Men Commanded by Capt. Delabroitz, which has been 
Cruising in Our Bay for several days past; and that the Selectmen (be) 
desired to present the same to him accordingly." 

Several of the more wealth}^ merchants of Boston, to 
express their sense of this meritorious exploit, presented 
Capt. T3aig with a silver cup, weighing one hundred 
ounces and bearing this inscription : — ^

ha})s, not so bloodless as at first reported, as the EvoiitKj 
Post of July 28 says : " We hear, that one of the Freiuh-

Men ivilJM in the late Eniia^enient with Capt. Tynu', which 
they sewed up in IlannnocUs and threw overboard, before 
Capt. Tynu's ]Men eihtred their X'^essei,""- but no confirma- 
tion of this has been found elsewhere. The prisoners were, 
l)rol)ably, exchanged before October 20, 1744, when the 
Council ordered the payment of an account for lodiiing 
and Itoard of Monsieur I)elal)r()it/,'' of whom we learn 



no more. 



During the rest of the season the " Prince of Orange" 
was employed in cruising off the coast and as a convoy of 
the troops sent to Anna})olis Royal and of vessels bound 
for Europe, in which she was assisted hy two other vessels 
in the employ of the Province, one commanded by Cai)t. 
Joseph Smethurst and the other I)y Capt. Sanders."* Owijig 
to the mnnber of French j)rivateers which were threatening 
navigation, thi' snow was, by advice of the Council, con- 
tinued at sea until I)ecem]>er lit. 1744, when she Avas laid 
up w ith her customary winter crew, and so continued until 
January 27, 1744-") when Tyng was given the command 
of a new and largei' vessel, the " Massachusetts Frigate," of 
100 tons and 20 guns.^ 

("ai)t. Joseph Smethurst was given the connnand of the 
" Prince of Orange," which vessel it was decided to retain,

pany with the Colonial fleet and wu.s about to letiiiu with 
her to Boston with several prizes taken from the enemy/ 
when she Avas lost sometime in the month of May, with 
all on l)oard, "as it is suppos'd," say the official despatches 
of Sir AYilliam Pepperrell, " in a Storm as she was cruizing 
off the Harbour's Mouth, whereby there are unfortunately 
made about 50 disconsolate Widows in one of our Fishing 
Towns." 2 

The exact date of this disaster does not seem to have 
been known nor has any list of the officers and men on 
board at the time been preserved. November 28, 1745, 
the General Court voted four months' pay to the next of 
kin of all the members of the crew " who shall api)ear 
to the satisfaction of the Committee of War to have 
remained on board until the time she is supposed to have 
l)eenlost'*; "there being the greatest reason to presume 
that the ' Snow Prince of Orange,' in the pay of this 
Province, in the late Expedition, was lost some time in the 
month of May last, and there being no probability that the 
exact time of the Officers and Seamen on board said SnoAv 
were in actual service can ever be ascertained".^ 

Such, in brief, is the history of this vessel, creditable 
alike to the government which built and supported her and 
to her officers and cre^^^ Though perhaps not the first 
American naval vessel, she was certainly the first to engage 
in a naval combat ; and her memory is worth preservation 
as that of the forerunner of the present American navy, 
whose ships are no more American than was, though luider 
another flag, the "Province Snow 'Prince of Orange' in his 
Majesty's service."

Gentlemen of the Council and House of Representatives 

Having received information (which I now send yon) of a Spanish 
Privateer designing for our Coast, I think it necessary to order Captain 
Tyng out in the province Snow for tlie protection of our navigation; 
but his company being discharged he must be furnished with men in 
some other way than what is usual; and therefore I would recommend 
it to you to consider of a premium for such of the enemy as may be 
taken or killed in (sic) Capt Tyng should meet & engage with any such 
Vessel, and to grant the Captors the provence part of what may be 
taken.

enlist, an Act be made to allow the Captain Ollicers, and Shii)s Company,

(44.) In Council, June 8, 1744. 

The Secretary delivered the foUoAving Message from His Excellency 
to both Houses vizt 

Gentlemen of the Council & House of llepresentatives. 

As the General Court of this Province at their Session held in Novem- 
ber 1741 pass'd an Act to encourage Men to enlist themselves in the 
Province Snow, and more effectually to guard the Sea Coast during the 
l)resent War with Spain ; and as His Majesty has now entered into a 
War with the French King, it seems necessary that we should give the 
lilie encouragement to Captures that may be made of Ships and Vessels 
belonging to the French Kings vassals and subjects; and if Ave extend 
it to private Ships and Vessels of War and Trading Vessels that have 
Letters of Marque or Commissions from other English Governments, 
for all such captures as may be made upon tlie Coasts of this Province 
it may be attended Avith effects l)eneficial to this Province. 

And therefore I must recommend it to you to pass such an .Vet as 
soon as may be. 

In the House of Representvys Read and Ordered that Mr. Clap, 
D'; Hale and My Oliver, Avith such as the Hon^y Board shall join, be a 
Committee to take this Message under consideration, and Rei)ort Avliul 
they judge proper for this Court to do thereon. 

In Council: Read and Concur'd, and William BroAvn and Eleakim 
Hutchinson Esq's are joined in the affair."

APPENDIX B. 

Extracts from Boston Nkwspapkrs. 

(1.) Tha Boston Weekly N'eios- Letter ; June 2r,,-July 3, 1740. 

On Monday last his Excellency tlie Governonr made the follo^vini; 
speech to the General Assembly, viz. 

As I am inform'd of some Vessels hovering abont our Ilarbours and 
those of the neighbouring Colonies, which are suspected to be come for 
Provisions to supply the Subjects of Spain I wish this Assembly might 
pass some efectual Act for preventing anything of so pernicious and 
fatal Consequence. 

June 30, 1740. J. Belcher. 

(2.) Ibid., July 3,-July 10, 1740. 

Yesterday his Excellency the Governour was pleased to make the fol- 
lowing Speech to the General Assembly, viz. 

Gentlemen of the Council and the House of Representatives 
At the beginning of this Session I mentioned to you the defenceless 
naked state of our Sea Coast; and since that the Account I had received 
of some Vessels hovering about us, to attempt an illicit and clandestine 
Trade, and to supply the Spaniards with Provisions, notwithstanding 
the War his Majesty has declared against that Crown; one such Vessel 
is already Seized and carried into Rhode-Island, by the great Care and 
Vigilance of that Government. 

I would now again recommend to you the Dispatch of a Bill to be 
pass'd into a Law, for preventing any such pernicious Trade : And that 
Provision be also made before this Court rises for purchasing a suitable 
Vessel for the Protection of our Commerce ; and that a Bill be also 
prepared against Mutiny and Desertion. 

July 9, 1740. J. Belcher. 

(3.) Boston Evening Post ; Monday July 28, 1740. 

There is now building, for the Use of the Province, a fine Snow, of 
an hundred and seventy odd Tons, which is carried on with such 
extraordinary Dispatch, that 'tis said she is to be launched in a 
Month's Time at furthest, tho' her Keel has not been laid above a Week. 

(4.) The Boston WeeMy N'eios- Letter ; Aug. 21-28, 1740. 

Yesterday a line Galley, built at the Charge of this Government, for 
the Service of the Province in Guarding our Coasts, to be Commanded 
by Edward Tyng, Esq; was launch'd at Mr. Benjamin Hallowell's Ship 
Yard. 

(5.) Boston Evening Post; Monday Sept. 1, 1740. 

Last Tuesday [Aug. 26, 1740] the Galley built by Mr. Benj. Hallowell 
at the charge of this Province for. the Defense of our Coast was 
launclied in the view of a prodigious Number of People who were 
assembled on that occasion. She is esteemed a very fine ship by good 



jiidi^es ancl was built and launched in ;]2 days from the laying of her 
keel altho' five of the said Days were so Rainy that very little Work was 
done in them. She measures 180 Tons, mounts 1(5 Carriage Guns that 
will carry a Ball of six l'o\mds and 'tis said she is to carry as many 
Swivels. She is commanded by Capt. Edward Tyna;, an experienced 
Officer, and is tittins out with such dilii^ence that 'tis said she will be

Orange in Memory we suppose of our glorious Deliverer King William.

Tyng Commander, came in from a Cruize of five or six Weeks. She has 
ranged all the Coast between this and Virginia, and is allowed by all to 
go exceeding Well, they having seen no Vessel but what they spoke 
with. The greatest Difliculty they met with of that Sort, was to come 
up with the Virginia Station Ship, but after a hard Chase of eight Hours, 
they came up with her, and by firing a Gun brought her to, and Spoke 
with her, though she carries 40 Guns and is commanded by a Knight.

Capt. Tyng in our Province Snow is now coming up with two Pend- 
ants flying, and a large Sloop in Tow with the Top of her Mast gone, 
which is generally concluded to be a Prize. 

(32.) Boston Weekly Neios- Letter ; June 29, 1744. 

On Monday last Capt. Tyng in the Province Snow returned from 
a Cruize, and brought with him a French Privateer Sloop with 94 Men, 
mounted with 8 Carriage and 8 Swivel Guns, burthen betM'een 70 and 80 
Tuns, commanded by Capt. Delebroitz, which was fitted out from Cape 
Breton, and sail'd about 3 Weeks before : Capt. Tyng discover'd her 
last Saturday Morning about 9 o'Clock, as he was laying too off Crab 
Ledge, 15 Leagues from Cape Cod, it being very calm : Perceiving she 
had a Top-sail and was bearing down towards him, Capt. Tyng took her 
to be the Province Sloop commanded by Capt. Fletcher; but soon after, 
as she drew nearer, he suspected her to be a French Cruizer under Eng- 
lish Colours, whereupon, in order to prevent a Discovery he ordered his 
Colours to be struck, his Guns to be drawn in and his Ports to be shut 
close, and at the same Time the Bulk Head to be taken down : When 
the Privateer bad got within about a Gunshot of Capt. Tyng, taking the 
Snow to be a Merchant-Man, they fired upon him : upon Avhich Capt. 
Tyng threw open his Ports, run out his Guns, hoisted bis Colours and 
fired upon them : Perceiving their Mistake, they tack'd about, put out 
their Oars and Tug'd hard to get oft' after firing two or three Guus more< 
It continuing very calm, Capt. Tyng was obliged to order out his Oars 
and to row after her, firing several Times his Bow Chase at her, in 
which the Gunner was so skilful, that 9 Times the Shot did some Dam- 
age either to her Hull or Rigging : about Two o'Clock the next Morning 
he came up pretty close with them being very much guided by 4 Lan- 
tliorns which they had inadvertently hung out upon their Rigging in the 
Night; finding they were bro't to the last Tryal, attempted to board 
Capt. Tyng, Avhich he perceiving, brought up his Vessel and gave them 
a Broadside, they having before thro' Fear all (luitted the Deck : The 
Mast being disabled by a Shot, it soon after broke oil' in the middle : 
Upon firing the Broadside they cry'd for Quarter ; and then Capt. Tyng 
order'd them to hoist out their Boat and bring the Captain on board, but 
they answer'd that their Tackling was so much shatter'd that they could 
not get out their Boat with it ; they were then told they must do it by 
Hand : Accordingly they soon comply'd and the Captain being brought 
on board deliver'd his Sword, Commission, &c. to Capt. Tyng, desiring 
that he and his Men might be kindly us'd, he was promis'd they should ; 



55 

and then the other Officers, being a 2d Captain, 3 Lientenants, and otliers 
Infcrionr, were bronght on board, and the next Day the rest of the 
Men who were secnr'd in the Hold. 

The Night after Capt. Tyng brought them into this Harbour, they 
were convey'd ashore and committed to Prison here; and the next Morn- 
ing 50 of them were guarded to the Prisons at Cambridge at (sic) 
Charlestown : The Officers and Men are treated with much Humanity 
and Kindness. 

'Tis remarkable that notwithstanding the great Number of Men on 
either side, in the attack and surrender, there was not one klll'd or 
wounded. 

Capt. Morepang in a Schooner of 110 Tuns, mounting 10 Carriage 
Guns, 4 Pounders, and 10 Swivels, with 120 Men, came out with Dele- 
broitz from Cape Breton, and we hear is appointed to Guard the Coast 
there till a Vessel of greater Force arrives for that Purpose. 

(33.) The Boston Gazette or Weekly Journal, Tuesday June 26, 
1744. 

Yesterday arrived here from a Cruize Capt. Tyng in the Province 
Snow Prince of Orange, who on Saturday last about 9 o'Clock in a calm 
Time, about fifteen Leagues from Cape Cod, saw a Sail at a considerable 
Distance which bore down upon him, and in about an Hour Capt. Tyng 
descern'd her to be a French Privateer under English Colours; upon 
which he haul'd in his Guns, took down his Bulk Head, struck his Col- 
ours, and lay too, 'till the Privateer came within Gunshot of the Snow, 
when she struck her English & hoisted French Colours : Upon which 
Capt. Tyng threw open his Ports and gave him a broadside which rak'd 
her fore and aft, on which they return'd the Snow two Guns, and then 
out with their Oars and endeavor'd to make ort : Capt. Tyng immediately 
put out his Oars and gave 'em Chace 'till two o'Clock next Morning and 
then came up with them : upon which the Privateer attempted to board 
the Snow ; and then Capt. Tyng gave them another broadside, besides 
pouring his small Arms into them, which very much shatter'd their Rig- 
ging and disabled their Mast; and then they cry'd for Quarter .... 
Capt. Tyng then order'd them to hoist their Boat and bring their Captain 
on board; when he came on board he delivr'd Capt. Tyng his Sword, & 
Commission, & desir'd he might have good Quarters; the other Officers 
were soon after brought on board, and the next Morning the Prisoners, 
who were secur'd in the Hold : The Number of Men on board the 
Privateer were 94, which Capt. Tynsr brought in, and were committed 
to Gaol here last Night, and this Morning about 50 of them were 
removed to Charlestown & Cambridge Gaols. The said Privateer was 
commanded by one Delabrotz and came from Cape Briton about 3 weeks 
ago, in Consort with Capt. Morpang in a schooner Privateer of 110 Tons, 
10 Carriage and 10 Swivel Guns with 120 Men. These were the two 
Vessels that took Canso, as the aforesaid Capt. of the Privateer 
inform'd Capt. Tyng.
